Came out fantastic! I used SHAN biryani masala. Its spicy so if anyone is using it pls be aware. But just too good biryani. Probably the best I ever made. Ate with raita. Wish I could share pics here.

Looks delicious! Two questions:
1. Can you provide the link for your spice grinder?
2. Does the cooking oil have to be peanut oil or can I use vegetable oil?

[@TheDeliciousCrescent]

I have added the link to spice grinder in the description box. No, it does not have to be peanut oil.
